As She Moves Away
You roll your eyes
to shake off the tears
looming large.
You sideline memories
for another hour
for you need time to gather
the scattered skies.
You touch her again and again,
run your fingers urgently
over the wrinkles, cheeks and her hair,
like a child lost,
to memorize the warmth
of love just faded away.
You try to cross your fingers over hers.
The grip-less slip,
you realize, the careless abandon
of your life
to be.Contents
